3) Give the internet to the UN. Not really something I'd like to see, but it is a solution. Get in line or they turn off the internet in your country.

You can already fingerprint your videos. Problem is, that really isn't a real solution because once you identify where it is, you are in the same boat as sending a DMCA. Something hardcore has to happen. SOPA v2 or something else. I'm all for it. And I've said it 100 times before, I could do without Facebook, Youtube, Tumblr, or any other site. I had a life before the internet and I'd get along just fine after those sites were gone or regulated. What happens to them, or any site, is not my concern. New laws need to be made and everyone follows them or you lose out.

A change in 2257 holding everyone responsible for the models information would be a game changer. And a law that would hold responsible the advertisers of a pirate site would also be a game changer.

I'm 100% in support of very harsh laws. I'll live with it. I already live in a country that censors the internet and blocks many websites so it's really not a stretch for me if I lose some more. You'd be surprised how perfectly fine life is without parts of the net. And I'm not a person who supports censorship, but I also see it as the only way that is going to bring the internet under control. It can not continue to be a lawless area where anyone can do anything with little or no consequences.
